Which is the best Wii Component Cable?

There are about 5 different versions around, there is the official one (pretty naff construction if you ask me, stock plugs you get from HiFi), to Blaze (which looks quite good with thick cables for better shielding and better plugs).

Which one would you opt for?

Dont be misled by the pics of the official one, I got one yesterday and it is a real decent cable, Twilight Princess looks a lot better than it did with the stock cable.

I can't comment on any of the others though but if its like any of the other Nintendo consoles, then official is better. The official Nintendo RGB and Component cables for Gamecube were better than 3rd party one's in terms of quality.

Worth looking around the net as well as some 3rd party cables are giving a annoying flickering with certain lcd/plasma sets on the VC, I got the official cable on a 26inch R7 Samsung and am really impressed.

Got the official one on my 436XDE and very impressed with picture quality.

Found cable to be good quality in the flesh also.

I saw it in the flesh in the shops today, it had 3 different brands, and the offical one didn't looked the best built quality (except for the box).

I picked up a Blaze one not realising at the time it wasn't official!

I was just happy to see one on the shelf!

I can't compare it with any other but on our Philips 37" LCD it works a treat.
